You all know how much I love picture books and reading picture books so of course this challenge caught my eye.
I thought it would tie in nicely with the reading I will be doing with our younger children anyway but the focus is slightly different.
For those of you who might be interested the link is here but the general instructions are below.
How To Participate:
1. Decide which challenge level you’ll be doing (see below).
2. Decide if you intend to read them with a child or on your own. Sorry, but those who read with a child get twice as many entries each month. Although those that do read with a child need to share their experience with the them in their review.
3. Grab a button.
4. Create your own post to let all your readers know you’re taking part in the challenge and at what level. Make sure to link back to this page with either one of the buttons or a text link.
5. Use the link form below to enter into the challenge by sharing your challenge post url and your name (either your name, blog name, or both). Please only use the comment section to participate if you do not have a blog. All other participants should use Mr. Linky below with a direct link to your challenge post.
6. Submit your reviews as you complete them on the designated monthly post to be qualified for monthly prize drawings.
7. There will be a “wrap-up” completion link-up at the end of the year to sign up for to share in your successes.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you through the Picture Book Challenge. I share books for preschool through 6th grade. I encourage parents to blog about the books they read and older children to express their own thoughts.
Hope you can stop by for a visit.
